One of the questions I get asked the most is, "are cheap tools good to buy?". For the most part, the brand really does not matter! So today, I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and test out the cheapest cordless angle grinder I can find on Amazon and test it in the real world to see if it can hold up!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video and as always, if you're building something cool, tag me @SpencleyDesignCo on Instagram so I can check it out!

    Walrus - I bought an angle grinder from Harbor Freight and so far it seems to be do everything I needed done. On the other hand, I purchased one of there cheap HVLP spray guns and it is hit and miss on getting it to spray lacquer properly. Maybe you could test and kill a cheap HVLP spray gun from Amazon. I really enjoy your videos.

    Walrus - you definitely get what you pay for. I would rarely use an angle grinder myself. Hot batteries aren't a good thing, especially with fires. Maybe a cheap Dremel with a cutting wheel might work better for smaller cuts. You should torture test cheap cordless impact drills.

    I don't agree with your opinion of if someone needs to cut a few nail head or some light cutting, he/she might as well get a Bosch corded one with an extension wire if it require far reach. And that should coat less than $49. And it will even get heavy grinding job done. So, those really cheap tools doesn't worth it in any situation. And it's not even nice to look at.

I have put hundreds of hours into it. The gears are a little rattling but it works perfectly fine still. I have watched a number of your videos and it seems like all you try to do is p*** people off.
